Dublin-based Congress to attract 3,000 international delegates and boost the local economy
The
Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) and the PSI (Pharmaceutical Society
of Ireland), the pharmacy regulator, have won a major international
pharmaceutical congress for Ireland in 2013.
Speaking about the
event win, which is set to bring 3,000 delegates to Dublin and could be
worth as much as €10 million in revenue to Ireland, Dr. Ambrose
McLoughlin, Registrar and CEO of the PSI said, “The PSI, with the
support of the pharmacy profession and sector, is delighted to bring
this prestigious event to Ireland. It presents a huge opportunity for
Ireland and will be a boost to the national economy in 2013.”
“The
PSI appreciates the support it has gained from the pharmacy
representative bodies, the schools of pharmacy, the pharmaceutical
industry and the Government, in particular the Minister for Health and
Children, Ms. Harney and her Department, in securing this important
event. We are looking forward to working with FIP, our stakeholders here
and The Convention Centre Dublin on making this world congress in 2013 a
success.”
“We are honoured to host such a prestigious event at
The CCD,” said Catherine Newhall Caiger, Sales Director, The Convention
Centre Dublin. “With 8 out of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the
world based here, this international event will help to solidify
Ireland’s strong commitment to this industry.”
The annual FIP Congress attracts pharmacists, pharmaceutical
scientists and academics from around the globe to a week-long event to
discuss a wide range of global healthcare and pharmacy topics, current
trends in pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical sciences and issues
facing the profession.
The FIP annual Congress was held previously in Ireland in 1975.
